| Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to consider whether an informer has the right to challenge an order that rejects their application. The court found that the previous dismissal of the petition was not tenable as the informer had a recognized right to contest the rejection of their application under the relevant laws. The court emphasized that the right to transfer evacuee property was statutorily acknowledged and that pending cases of informers were preserved by the Repealing Act. Consequently, the petition for leave to appeal was granted. |
